Does Your 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Land Cruiser feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Land Cruiser suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Toyota Land Cruiser suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Toyota Land Cruiser

Your 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Toyota Land Cruiser shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1999 Land Cruiser Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Toyota's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Toyota Land Cruiser get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Toyota Land Cruiser power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Land Cruiser’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Toyota service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Toyota Land Cruiser bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Land Cruiser goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Land Cruiser front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Land Cruiser's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Toyota Land Cruiser need replacing? Worn Land Cruiser shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Land Cruiser might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Land Cruiser shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
